Modern club jacket. From classics to the avant-garde

Fashionable clothes are a good way of self-expression. Women use them often and skillfully, realizing how important it is to dress fashionably and stylishly for self-presentation, but while preserving their individuality.

Men in fashion issues are more conservative and unpretentious, which is largely due to their way of life, spheres of work, characteristics of character and traditions. Needless to say, men's fashion, since the XIX century, is not distinguished by a wide variety of styles and styles. Traditional business suit, which for two centuries has undergone small changes, still remains the central element of the men's wardrobe.

Alas, but also the military form of the previous years, austere but elegant, with many bright and visually appealing insignia, has become history. Memories of her remained in the stylistics and elements of modern garments of men's and women's wardrobe. One of them is a club jacket for men (and women's), which combines classic cut with bright details of a military suit, as well as liberating elements of a sporting style. Thanks to this, it can be worn without thinking too much about observing traditions and strict rules.

A traditional club jacket or blazer (both female and male) is made of woolen plain or striped, a hem, a small cage of fabric. Its distinctive features are contrasting, usually metal buttons on shelves and sleeves, breast pockets decorated with emblems (originally blazers were worn by members of various aristocratic clubs). Often instead of one slot, the designers use two side slots. Club jackets for men and women of similar style with minor changes can be found in the latest collections of many leading fashion designers of the world.

However, this type of clothing, especially in the men's wardrobe, is becoming more and more democratic and increasingly represents a combination of classical rigor with freedom of expression and style. Club jacket is worn with jeans and T-shirts, put on with a thin pullover or polo shirt. With a special glamor look raised to the elbows or wrapped sleeves with a contrasting lining, which looks like a lapel cuff. Instead of a traditional tie, a long scarf wrapped around the neck, with loosened ends, is quite appropriate here. Another interesting trend has been outlined recently, and it is connected with the fascination with multilayeredness in clothes. In a modern fashionable suit, a club jacket is recommended to be worn over a shirt or pullover, and they may very well look out from under it, which introduces an element of light disorder into the men's suit. True, this mess must be strictly thought out.

Classic club jacket - dark blue. The latest fashion trends have expanded its color range and now you can see in the collections of designers green, dark red, sandy-yellow, white and black models.

Finally, the club jacket is actual to wear as an alternative to off-season outerwear. Stitched from warm natural wool, for example, alpaca, in a muted color scheme of autumn and falling leaves, wrapped over a knitted pullover or waistcoat, complemented by a thick warm scarf, will make up a perfect set with dark wool trousers for men or a long loose skirt for women.

A club jacket from an element of clothing that shows belonging to a closed elite group has migrated to the world's fashionable catwalks, and every year it becomes more and more universal and, accordingly, a necessary item in the wardrobe of not only a modern stylish man, but also a woman who loves to experiment and surprise.
